Chapter 996: Chapter 996: Welfare Home
Sun Rou hesitated for a long time, unsure of how to explain the matters of the Lian Family, and finally condensed it into one sentence: "Lian Qingqing and Lian Qingyang aren’t biological twins."
"Do you think I will believe that?" Gu Hang looked at Sun Rou suspiciously, wondering if perhaps she was out of her mind.
"It’s true." Sun Rou had no idea how to explain further. Suddenly, she remembered something. She dug out her ID card from her bag and handed it over, saying, "Look, my name is Sun Rou, not Lian Qingqing. Check my birthplace, it’s not in Jing City."
Gu Hang was half skeptical, examining the ID card from all angles and comparing it to Sun Rou. Only then did he begin to sense something amiss. He asked, "Are you really Sun Rou? You’re not from Sea City?"
"No, I grew up in Yun City, I’ve never been to Sea City." Sun Rou looked at Gu Hang helplessly and said, "You and Lian Qingqing were classmates; perhaps you haven’t seen each other for many years. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Lian Qingyang."
"I believe you now." Gu Hang returned the ID card to her. Earlier, he thought Sun Rou’s story was too outrageous, but now, with her showing the ID and explaining things, he started to seriously scrutinize Sun Rou.
Upon closer inspection, although the two looked alike, Gu Hang noticed their differences.
Lian Qingqing was proud and arrogant. Back in school, she held her head high. If this were truly Lian Qingqing, she wouldn’t have kept denying her identity under his questioning.
The current Sun Rou, though similar in appearance, radiated gentleness and kindness, approachable and totally different from Lian Qingqing’s pridefulness.
"Finally, it’s clear now." Sun Rou breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Hang looked at Sun Rou apologetically and said, "I’m sorry, I mistook you for someone else."
If it were Lian Qingqing, his words wouldn’t matter, but since she wasn’t Lian Qingqing, his previous actions seemed a bit excessive.
Gu Hang’s thoughts gradually calmed down.
"It’s fine." Sun Rou shook her head, saying, "You just mistook me for someone else. I have something to do; I’ll be leaving now."
Sun Rou supported her ladies’ bicycle and left quickly, fearing that if she lingered, Gu Hang might mistake her again.
Moments ago, when Gu Hang questioned her, Sun Rou was shocked, and her heart was still pounding.
Who is Xu Mei?
Was it Lian Qingqing who harmed Xu Mei?
Sun Rou had many thoughts in her head but eventually realized that she had never been close to Lian Qingqing, even if she recognized her, there wasn’t much interaction.
In Sun Rou’s eyes, Sister Sun Qing was her real sister.
Sun Rou dismissed those thoughts. Regardless of Lian Qingqing’s actions, they were none of her concern.
Back at the shop, Sun Rou busied herself with arranging the merchandise. The newly arrived goods looked nice, and she picked out a few items for her niece Zhao Zhenzhen and another set for the children of her brother-in-law’s younger sister. Since she sold clothes, she could send them using her sister’s name, maintaining the relationship between their two families.
Her sister, taking care of the children in Jing City, mostly relied on her brother-in-law’s sister’s family. Sometimes, they’d send some specialties back, so Sun Rou felt it necessary to help Sun Qing maintain the friendly relations.
Even though Sun Qing had mentioned several times that she already sent things, Sun Rou would still send suitable items whenever she found them.
After a busy day, Sun Rou was so tired that she could barely straighten her back.
At night, she initially planned to tell Sun Qing about Gu Hang’s situation but changed her mind; it meant mentioning Lian Qingqing again, so she chose not to speak of it, focusing on playing with her niece instead.
"Sis, I plan to visit the Little Grass Orphanage in a few days," Sun Rou said, lightly touching Zhao Zhenzhen’s soft cheeks, which felt like tofu, giving a satisfying touch.
While folding clothes, Sun Qing said, "You plan to go again? Remember to bring some clothes with you."
Sun Qing had received permission from Tang Yue to utilize leftover fabric to patch together some garments. Despite the varied colors and materials, with their fashion designer’s perspective, the clothes retained a unique beauty.
Little Grass Orphanage housed many orphans who, apart from receiving donated items, were especially in need of clothes.
Whenever Sun Qing accumulated clothes, she’d have Sun Rou take them over.
"Sister, Sister Xiao Yue is truly kind." Sun Rou’s eyes lit up, saying, "I want to thank Sister, thank Sister Xiao Yue on behalf of those children."
"Indeed, Tang Yue is wonderful, helping others without ever seeking recognition," Sun Qing thought. Despite some fabric scraps being usable for other things, Tang Yue always allowed Sun Qing and the others to design clothes, storing them to send to the orphanage.
The orphanage’s children could indeed wear new clothes.
The next day, Sun Qing went to the studio to pick up the clothes.
"Sun Qing, is your sister going to the orphanage again?" Tang Yue asked upon seeing her with the clothes, already guessing Sun Rou was going again.
Over the years, Sun Rou would visit once a month, bringing either clothes or food, sometimes spending a day playing with the children—genuinely loving.
Occasionally, when Tang Yue had free time, she would accompany her. The children without families were truly deserving of sympathy.
"Yes, these clothes are just perfect for her to take," Sun Qing grabbed a large bag, filled with children’s clothes of varying sizes, for boys and girls alike.
"Perfect timing, there are some snacks as well, let’s take them too." Tang Yue entered the room to fetch some snacks.
There was never a shortage of snacks at home.
Not to mention Meng Jin, the grandfather, and Lian He, the grandpa, who always brought tons of snacks home in their visits.
In addition, Tang Zhengde would enthusiastically prepare delicious snacks whenever he had spare time.
Lian Qingyang, the uncle, Tang Jun, another uncle, Mo Xiaoyu, the aunt, Lian Tong, the grandaunt; all were generous in sending snacks, as if believing she couldn’t treat the two kids well.
Let alone Lian Qingxuan, Lian Qingzhi, they would also send stuff at times, resulting in an abundance of snacks; those excess would sometimes be taken to school by the kids or occasionally delivered to the orphanage children.
"This is quite a lot." Sun Qing noticed the large bag carried by Tang Yue, filled with various pricier snacks.
"Take them; we have plenty at home," Tang Yue chuckled, saying, "That for Zhenzhen and the others, I’ve set aside separately."
"I’ve prepared for Li Fang and Yan Yuan as well."
Li Fang is the daughter of Li Wei and Xu Huan, now three years old.
Yan Yuan is the son of Yan Dong and Xu Le, also three years old now.
Among the several kids, apart from Zhao Xiangqian’s daughter Zhao Zhenzhen being younger, the other two were quite mischievous at three years old.
